Day 4

Today is a rest day, no traveling. The highlight of the day was our hike to the Big Sable lighthouse. Their are two ways there, one through the woods, the other along a dirt access road. I took the woods which was a little further but really nice. The tough part was the last mile or so that had me ankle deep in beach sand.
I met up with Dirk and Colleen and Faye at the lighthouse. The place is staffed by volunteers who spend the summer manning the shop and doing maintenance. Built in 1865, it was decommissioned in the 60's and today serves no purpose other than as great destination for a walk.
After lunch it was time to catch up on that book we always wanted to read but could never find the time.  Then a little more exploring of a state park that is quite exceptional .
We finished  the day with another great meal and a good SA wine.
